Dreamweaver Tutorial: Setting Image Properties
Email to a Friend
Unless you used Photoshop or Fireworks or another image editing program to change an images size, you might have to make some adjustments to it after inserting it on your web page. In addition to changing the size of an image, there are several other properties that can be changed using the Property Inspector.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Giving an Image Alternate text
In the Document Window, select the image whose attributes you want to change.
In the Properties Inspector, type an alternative name for the image in the Alt box. This alternate name shows when a user holds the mouse pointer over the image and it's what the user sees if the user is viewing in a browser with images turned off. It is also the text that is read by screen readers for those who are sight disabled.
Dreamweaver Tutorials: Adjust the Image's Size
Resize an image by selecting it and then dragging one of the resizing handles. Drag the side handle to resize the width, the bottom handle to resize the height, and the corner handle to resize both.
You can more precisely adjust an image's size by changing the values in pixels in the width and height property in the Property Inspector.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Set the Image's Alignment
Open the Align list and select how to vertically or horizontally align the image with text, or within its layer, cell, or frame To align the image horizontally, click the Align Left, Align Center, or Align Right buttons.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Add a Border to an Image
To surround an image with a border on all four sides, enter a Border width in pixels. The color of the border is determined by the color of ordinary text in the surrounding vicinity or by a CSS file.
Here is the resulting image with a 1 pixel thick border around it.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Add Margins Around the Image
You usually don't want your text to be right up against the edge of an image, especially when wrapping text around an image. To add empty space along the left and right sides of the image enter a value in pixels under H Space (Horizontal Space). To add space along the top and bottom of an image, enter a value in pixels in the V Space (Vertical Space). Dreamweaver will create a margin with a width equal to the number of pixels you enter.
